Using superb strategic and organizational skills, in concert with his civil rights colleagues, he developed models for mobilizing consumer and labor protest campaigns that forced the American business community to acknowledge the pivotal role of the black consumer and worker in America's economy.The Joseph E. Boone Memorial Foundation is dedicated to continuing his work of serving those at need in our community, and throughout our nation. His spirit lives on in the work of this organization.
